    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 2, ARMENPRESS: 85 Syrian Armenian families composing
    220 families have turned to State Migration Service of the Ministry
    of Territorial Administration on the request for asylum.

    As the head of the Service told in the briefing with Armenpress over
    4000 Syrian Armenians are currently in the Republic of Armenia. "
    Another 4000 Syrian Armenians, arrived in Armenia due to tense
    situation in Syria are back again" Firdus Zakaryan, working group head
    dealing with Syrian Armenian issues stated. The most urgent issue our
    Syrian compatriots are facing is the job seeking. Some specialties
    do not conform to the proposed work. "They turn to us they are run
    off the financial resources" Zakaryan noted.

    Union of Employers of Armenia is also making efforts to alleviate the
    difficulties refer to job seeking, where those Syrian Armenians who
    want to make business in Armenia are provided with free of charge
    advice. In the words of the head of Union of Employers of Armenia
    Gagik Makaryan in the course of the consultation convened by the
    Union Syrian Armenians issue is on the agenda. "In the near future
    we have intentions to convene another similar conference with the
    participation of international experts. We shall exert junctions to
    settle Syrian Armenians job issues" the interlocutor noted.

    The head of the working group dealing with Syrian Armenian issues,
    Ministry of Diaspora highlighted the problem of textbooks and
    programs. " We are caring no efforts that Syrian Armenian children
    would be able to keep to the program when back to Syria. We are looking
    forward to textbooks due to arrive from Syria. Those who want may
    continue their studies by Syrian program, reportedly those children who
    are going to stay in Homeland, will continue our education curriculum.

    Currently Syrian Armenians are attending the schools of the capital
    to get acquainted with Eastern Armenian. Syrian school is located in
    Kentron administrative district's 14 school, where 85-90% out of 200
    pupils are set to continue their studies in Armenia. According to
    Firdus Zakaryan the issue of Syrian Armenians return has got rather
    complicated because of the scarce resources. "As National Air Carrier
    "Armavia" company is not launching flights, many Syrian Armenians
    already purchased tickets do not know how to deal. We must submit
    to the Air Company with a demand either return the relevant money or
    appoint the day of the flight"Zakaryan underscored.

    Earlier told Armenpress was informed by Armavia the money will be
    compensated part by part.

    The clashes lasting year and more resulted in the death of over 30
    thousand people. There are 22 thousand and more peaceful residents
    among them. Armenian community has also suffered losses by ongoing
    shelling. Syrian Armenians have recovered two dozen victims, including
    Syrian army soldiers. Numerous Syrians are leaving the country due
    to the lasting clashes, appearing in other countries as refugees.
